isn't he something?did i tell you about the production of Dracula i saw in NYC a gazillion years ago, in which he did the set & costume design? everything was black and white, with the exception of drops o blood and a single red rose.heh heh. obviously, unforgettable!

Gorey had an incredibly sinister but hillarious attitude towards life...and what a befitting name! I used to love the intro to that show...comforting in a strange way. I guess it was one of those 'constants' in life on Sunday evenings.

Elisabeth - Hello :) And that was a signature wardrobe item for him, the ankle-length fur, even though, as they say, he was very fond of animals. I find him a grand model for being exactly who one is - in life, in art. xo

Susan - I did not know you'd seen his Dracula. We are nearly ill with envy. I have this overview of your New York years as being spent doing and seeing all the very best the city and the times had to offer. And yes, isn't he something? There is a You Tube interview with him talking about an awful movie called, I think, SUTURE. His wonder at its awfulness. xo

Kerry - Ratty! Mole! How happy I am when they arrive with you. The Mystery! animation, with its little screams, damsels with the vapors. I become re-infatuated with him about every 3 days. And the lovely symmetry of actually being named Gorey. xo

Yvette - I think many of us are going around in spirals, or just marking time in place - or treading water. Don't you know there are cats, every manner of cat, and everything else he loved. How fortunate we are to have him among our inspirations. xo
